Chapter 250

Li Mu's worries soon became a reality. Although Pei Hong and Shen Li didn't say much, the intervals between their requests for coordinates became longer. Previously, it was once every two days, but now it is once every three or four days.

This situation is much better than they expected. Now that the pirates are so crazy, Pei Hong and Shen Li only stayed for one more day to rest, and they didn't discuss the exchange ratio of canned food with them. It was already very good. Qiao Sheng and his team did

n't waste their time on this. Every now and then, they asked Li Mu to send some of the food they grew in the greenhouse. Of course, they sent the larger ones, such as Chinese cabbage, which was very heavy, and there were even more sweet potatoes and potatoes.

Both sides understand each other, and the speed of clearing pirates is not too slow, especially now that everyone is fighting against pirates, no one is escaping, mainly because they can't escape at all.

The original lone wolf players have now integrated into the collective. Qiao Sheng now runs the canning machine almost all day long, and almost no fruit canning is done now. They only eat the fruits they grow themselves, and send some to Fang Yueyi and others.

Most of the canned food is fish, which is what they have the least of. Sometimes they also can some pickled cabbage and radish, which was originally a bargain, but unexpectedly received unanimous praise.

However, these processed ingredients are more labor-intensive, material-intensive, and time-consuming, so they are still exchanged as bargains, and it is impossible to exchange them in large quantities.

After a few days, the players found that not only the pirates on the island had become stronger, but also the pirates in the pirate ship had become much stronger.

This caused everyone to have to fight and rest for a while, at least they had to repair the ship and change their weapons.

Qiao Sheng and his friends now needed to make more weapons every day. In order to make the players more powerful, Li Mu announced on the world channel that they could change to crossbows.

This news also caused a lot of waves. Many players who were waiting and watching also stood up, posted their own maps, and joined the player No. 18 to serve the people. They also collected materials and processed them on behalf of others. However, because they did not have enough material reserves, it was impossible to accept large orders. They only accepted ten or eight orders a day.

However, due to the large number of people, some pressure was relieved at once, and the working time of Qiao Sheng and the others in making weapons was finally shortened.

The result of most players working in one direction is that even if the pirates start to resist, they can't withstand the attacks of the players. For a while, Li Mu could exchange more pirate base flags with canned food every day.

Later, because the canned food production line was not capable of producing enough, he switched to fresh ingredients. However, considering the actual storage problems of other players, Li Mu did not replace all of them with fresh ingredients.

Instead, he used a combination of fresh ingredients, canned food, and even coal instead of canned food. Since it is winter now, the temperature has dropped sharply. Although the players have understood the fourth level in the game after the last winter, they have also prepared in advance.

But it is a good choice to exchange more coal to make this winter more comfortable. As for the less food, no one is too worried.

According to the current number of pirates, they can take them all. Anyway, the orders for players to exchange the pirate base flag on the 18th have always existed.

Days passed, and as Qiao Sheng and his team exchanged more and more pirate flags, there were often players asking about the battle situation on the world channel. However, because Li Mu rarely watched the world channel, most of the time no one answered.

Sometimes Xia Beibei saw it and reminded him. After statistics, it would be published on the world channel. Originally, there were more than 400 pirate islands that had not been cleared. One month after entering winter, there were more than 200 left.

There are even players on the world channel calling on everyone to work hard and strive to clean up all the pirate islands before the New Year, so that everyone can have a good New Year together!

A few days later, another winter problem came. Blizzards began one after another, and the lower temperature caused many players to catch colds and fevers, which slowed down the speed of clearing pirate islands.

Not only ordinary players, but also Qiao Sheng and his team went from one pirate island a day to one every two days. Pei Hong and Shen Li also cleared one every four or five days. It's not that they don't want to work hard. It's really because

of this weather. It's too labor-intensive to sail the boat towards the set coordinates. They simply drifted with the wind. On the one hand, it allows the team members to have a good rest, and on the other hand, they take the opportunity to rest the boat.

After several months of almost continuous fighting, their ships have suffered varying degrees of damage, especially after the snow began to fall in the past few days, some ships in the fleet had their cabins collapsed.

Fortunately, there were not many things in the uppermost cabin, and no one lived in it, so they were spared.

Now if you ask what orders are the most popular in the trading system, it must be orders for supplies. Almost everyone is in short supply, and even the canned food produced by Qiao Sheng is not so popular.

As for the canned food orders that they used to supply at fixed times every morning, noon and evening, the quantity has now been reduced.

From hundreds of cans a day, it has been reduced to 20 cans each morning, noon and evening. It's not because no one is interested, but because most players can use the pirate base flag to exchange for cans, so they don't have to keep an eye on these things every day.

The reason why it is still hanging now is that we are afraid that some players will run out of food, so at least it gives everyone a way out.

"The more beautiful the snow is, the more tiring it is. I just shovel snow all day long." Lin Haiyang came down from the fourth-floor cabin carrying a shovel. This is the second time he has gone up to shovel snow this morning.

"Is the snowfall this winter much more than last winter? Didn't we have to shovel so many times a day before?" Qiao Sheng felt that the weather was weird.

"It seems so. Last winter, I only shoveled snow once at noon and once before going to bed at night. It's not like now, I always have to go up. But it seems to have its benefits. There is really a lot of snow water. It's quite comfortable to take a hot bath in the winter." Xia Beibei was wearing thick clothes and guarding the brazier with a colander to scoop up supplies.

She also specially lengthened the handle of the colander. The previous one was a bit short. If you scooped it too fast, your hands would get wet. In the winter, it's really unbearable to be exposed to cold sea water.

Qiao Sheng also made new rabbit fur gloves for Xia Beibei and Lin Haiyang. She and Li Mu continued to use the ones left over from last year.

Lin Haiyang casually put the shovel next to the wooden wall, took off his gloves and moved to the brazier, roasting the fire, and told Qiao Sheng and the others that he seemed to see a black spot in the distance, and he was not sure if it was an island, but it could be a pirate ship, so he asked everyone to be alert.

Since the snow began to snow, Li Mu took Lin Haiyang to install a sliding sloping roof on the roof of the ship. After the winter, they forgot about it when they rebuilt the ship, but now the snow is getting heavier, so they have to arrange this sloping roof.

Otherwise, he and Lin Haiyang would have to get up every night to shovel the snow. Qiao Sheng also suggested that they could consider letting a robot do this job, anyway, it was just a matter of setting a program.

As a result, the robot was frozen. Because of the heavy snow and the cold weather, snow and water entered the machine, causing a short circuit. Li Mu took the opportunity to dismantle the robot and found that the circuit board was burned.

The most annoying thing about this game is that there are too few tools. If it were in real life, the robot might be able to be repaired and still work, but in this game, there are no tools, so you can't even think about repairing it. You can only dismantle the old one as scrap iron products and use the materials to make a new robot.

Because the robot overturned in the cold weather, they reprogrammed the robot responsible for greenhouse planting.

Originally, it was always busy in the greenhouse. Considering that snow water could cause it to short-circuit, and fearing that steam would also affect it, the setting was changed to wait outside the greenhouse at ordinary times. When the crops are ripe, the greenhouse door is opened to harvest and replant, and then return to the outside of the greenhouse to wait for the next ripening.

"This robot is amazing, just like the sweeping robot at home. Before it ran out of power, it would walk to the terrace to bask in the sun." Qiao Sheng looked at the robot after it was reprogrammed, doing its work in an orderly manner, and couldn't help but praise this player's good helper.

Except for the fact that it was a bit expensive to make, it was really perfect.
